along the same lines as the potential JM Weston question, there's a good chance i could get Paul Stuart's 45th and Madison inventory but i'm unfamiliar with PS's popularity. anyone know or is it worth gambling and taking 200K or so of items?

200K as in Dollars? I dunno...I think that 200K of merchandise that for whatever reason didnt sell and they are now being resold is quite a large amount. Just one Man's Opinion. JJF

I'm a huge Paul Stuart fan. Now..., now that I've discovered the world of really good s**t men's clothes, I realize Paul Stuart isn't quite the bee's knees that I used to think. Nevertheless, they've got some great stuff. My wife's a fan of the women's wear. I have a 30-35 year old Sea Island PS shirt (something I got from my father about 10 years ago after he outgrew it) that I still wear about once every 2 weeks. Still good as new, somehow. I also have a lamb suede belt that I bought at PS when I went to NYC in college for a job interview and forgot to bring a black belt for my then-brand new suit. I still wear that belt several times a week and it still shows virtually no signs of wear. I'm confident I'll be able to wear it for another 15+ years. Plus, have you seen their catalogs? A little over the top sometimes in their use of pink and purple, but they are still fun to look at. Always many an item I desire. PS -- Paul Stuart's underwear is the best I've ever found. Check it out.

In 1975 Paul Struart provided me my first grown-up suit. In the 1980s they provided most of my wardrobe. As I learned more about threads, I realized PS is more about their updated classics then quality. Not that they sell junk, but for the money you can do better. Sylewise, I think PS is very classy.

a few points: 1. 200K in unsold isn't all that uncommon. it sounds like a lot, but 200K is actually on the low end i get from other stores. 2. i LOVE color but find most men won't wear an orange sweater or something like that, so i like seeing color whereas most men don't 3. i think there's a really good chance, basically mine if i want it, but wanted some input. would probably be in october or november 4. not closing, just excess, keep in mind they also have a store in chicago that would contribtue a little to the inventory

Like the others, I think it really depends on what the specific items are. Anything labelled Stuart's Choice is pretty good stuff, and I particularly like their Stuart's Choice shoes (wore a pair today, as a matter of fact). I also like their socks, ties, pocket squares, outerware, and a lot of their casual stuff. I'm not particularly a fan of most of their dress shirts. The Stuart's Choice line of suits are pretty good, the rest merely okay.

I would think you'd do much better with the leathergood, accessories, ties, and shoes than the suits and sportcoats. I'd be interested; their sweaters (in addition to above items) are pretty great, as well.
